Medical Malpractice

As you may be aware, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has recently announced that from early in 2014 they will require all registered nurses, practicing in the UK, to self declare that they have appropriate indemnity cover in place in order to practice and provide care.

With this in mind, nurses will likely be seeking confirmation from you, their employers, about the extent of cover you provide. It is therefore important that you understand the extent of your cover and how to respond to questions such as this posed by your nursing employees.
